Schools fit for kings
The King’s Education Group was launched this year and is a family of Independent Christian schools that is providing excellent education to families right across the socio-economic spectrum of our region.
The King’s Group is made up of the following schools: The King’s School West Rand, The King’s School Vineyard, The King’s School Discovery, The King’s School Muldersdrift and The King’s School Dayspring. The King’s Schools are committed to being a resource rather than a refuge, training learners to achieve success in their chosen professions. Why a group of schools, you may ask? Because of the economic downturn, many families, while they recognise the failure of our public education system and the need for an affordable private education
option, found themselves excluded from this consideration because of the costs.
By forming a group of like-minded schools with partially centralised administration and shared resources, they have been able to reduce costs to parents while at the same time enhance the offering provided through a partnership of internal and external skills, management flexibility and teacher training.
The King’s Education Group has an educational home for everyone from toddlers in nappies, all the way to matric and even beyond – offering a teacher training programme open to 18- to 25-year-olds.
The schools cater for children from Grade RRRR (18 months old) to Grade 12 (18 years old). Classes are limited to 22 learners. The schools are also accredited with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and are the first in our country and the second on the continent of Africa to be accredited.
